Naldo, who is not as smart (just average) hangs out with himin the lab (as do Cyd and Shelby).Barry enjoys experimenting and one experiment, a hair replacement

formula, changes their lives forever. Cyd and Shelby are alone in theWinnebago when Cyd, looking for something to eat, accidentally bumpsinto Barry’s laser machine and switches it on. A laser beam emerges,strikes a bottle of Naldo’s homemade blue hair gel then deflects andstrikes Cyd and Shelby (who, fearing what might happen, are huggingeach other). The machine shuts down and Cyd and Shelby appear tobe fine. Later that day at school Shelby’s efforts to impress a boy fail,leaving her to wish they could start the day over. Suddenly, Cyd and

Shelby are transported back to their bedroom and to a time before theincident occurred. Cyd theorizes that it had something to do withBarry’s laser and that they can somehow time travel. But how? As theystart that day over again and Shelby again fails to impress that boy, Cydhugs Shelby to comfort her at the same time Shelby wishes the daynever happened. A burst of light appears and Cyd and Shelby are againtransported back to their bedroom . Placing all the pieces together,Shelby realizes that if they hug or touch each other and are concentratingon a specific time or place, they can time travel to it. Cyd and Shelbythen reveal what has happened to Barry and Naldo with Barry settinghis goal to recreate the experiment but always failing (as he is unawarethat it was Naldo’s hair gel that actually created time travel). Cyd andShelby’s mishaps as they travel back in time are chronicled with eachseason also focusing on a specific story.It is revealed from the first episode that Cyd and Shelby can also

travel into the future (seen in a lab where they are strapped down onexperimental tables).

Season 1 episodes focus onthe battle that ensues as Cyd, Shelby, Barry and Naldo seek a way to de-feat Janet before she can accomplish her goal. As the first season con-cludes, a time rift opens to bring a future Cyd and Shelby to the presentto help their younger selves defeat Janet (who without their help wouldhave achieved her goal). Future Cyd and Shelby, who appear to be agentsfor an unnamed organization, arrest Janet (to take her to their time forpunishment) and leave telling present day Cyd and Shelby that theirfuture has not been set and what they have seen is only one possibility.The time rift, however, has plans for Cyd and Shelby. Cyd, Shelby,

Barry and Naldo are alone in the school’s commons area when the riftsuddenly reopens and allows Daisy, a 16-year-old princess from the year1522 to emerge. The “gang” (as Cyd calls herself, Shelby, Barry andNaldo) learn that she is a prisoner in her time (locked in her towerroom) and heir to her kingdom (her parents, the King and Queen,having been lost at sea). It is also learned that Daisy is engaged to Se-bastian, an evil man who is seeking to marry Daisy so he can inherit herwealth and become king. Although the time rift allowed Daisy’s presencein 2016, it will not allow her to return to her time until she acquires acertain ability; thus, she becomes Cyd and Shelby’s responsibility (astheir battle with Janet caused the time rift to open). Daisy’s efforts toadjust to life in 2016 are explored (especially with Cyd and Shelby) asare Cyd and Shelby’s efforts to learn why Daisy has been sent to them.It is revealed that Daisy (who lives with Naldo’s family in 2016) had

been imprisoned by her former nanny to protect her from Sebastian,whose marriage to Daisy would make him a cruel king. History hadmeant for Daisy to rule as a fair and just leader. As season two concludes,Cyd and Shelby travel to 1522 to break Daisy’s engagement to Sebastian,thus severing their ties. What appears to have been a successful missionis anything but when Sebastian learns from Cyd and Shelby that Daisyis safe in their time. Although Cyd and Shelby use time travel to returnto the present, the time rift opens and allows Sebastian to enter theworld of 2016 to reclaim Daisy as his wife. Now, with Daisy again indanger, Cyd, Shelby, Barry and Naldo join forces to defeat Sebastian toallow Daisy to rule as the princess she was meant to be. (It is seen thatthe rift allowed Daisy to meet Cyd and Shelby so she could acquire thematurity of a modern- day woman and build up the courage she needsto stand up to Sebastian and deny him what is rightfully hers.) Cyd andShelby’s connection to the past has also presented them with a gift: al-lowing Barry and Naldo to time travel with them when they engage ina group hug. The series appears to have ended at this point. In a lastscene after returning from 1522, Cyd and Shelby grant Naldo’s desireto see dinosaurs. As they vanish into time, the tacion particles createdby time travel are seen on the screen as the closing credits roll.

Cutting any one of the incorrect wires endstheir play; defusing the bomb by selecting the seven correct answersquadruples the bet money (up to $500,000).

But clues like a 17th centurySpanish coin, drilling remnants (from 130 feet below the ground, likewood and cement, links of a gold chain, and a segment of an ancientscroll) have given frustrated hunters the initiative to go on but the mys-teries still remain: how did those remnants get there; was the triangularswamp man built to hide something; were the Knights Templar actuallyon Oak Island and in North America before Christopher Columbus;and how are 17th century pirates connect to the Knight Templar?

He be-lieves he is “the go- to-guy for all things White House.” Sue schedulesSelena’s meetings and visits. As she says, “The Vice President is the sec-ond most important person in the world. I arrange for you to see her.So, in my eyes, that makes me the third most important person in theworld. So you better be nice to me. Or you won’t get to see her.

On the right side of the screen are numbers (1–9) thateach contains a hidden money amount. The host begins the game byproviding the player with a free first clue. If the player cannot uncoverthe mystery, he or she purchases additional clues by calling a number.The money amount that is concealed under the number deducts thatamount from the at stakes money. The clue is revealed and the playermay hazard a guess or continue buying clues (an incorrect guess endsthe round and the player wins nothing). When the puzzle is guessed,the money that remains is the prize and is donated to the deserving in-dividual (who has no idea as to what is happening).

The program becomes very emotional (as in Queen for a Day)when the field host enters his or her life to tell them what has happenedand how much money has been won for them. While there is $435,000at stake, it is virtually impossible to win that amount as the puzzles arevery difficult to solve without buying at least three or four clues (some-times six or seven) and each purchased clue can really cut the at- stakesmoney down if the larger increments are unknowingly picked.
